How To Maximize The Effect Of 3-way Flanged Ball Valve?

To maximize the performance of a 3 Way Flanged Ball Valve, it's important to pay attention to certain details. For example, even when a hard-seal ball valve is closed, pressurized fluid remains inside the pneumatic valve body. Before repairing, release the line pressure and place the valve in the open position; disconnect the power or air supply; and detach the actuator from the bracket. Ensure that the upstream and downstream pipelines are depressurized before disassembly. During disassembly and reassembly, be careful to avoid damaging the sealing surfaces of components, especially non-metallic parts. Use specialized tools when removing O-rings.

During assembly, tighten the bolts on the flange symmetrically, gradually, and evenly. The cleaning agent should be compatible with the rubber, plastic, and metal components of the ball valve, as well as the working fluid.

Individual parts can be cleaned by immersion.

During cleaning, remove all grease, dirt, adhesive deposits, and dust adhering to the surface.

Non-metallic parts should be removed from the cleaning agent immediately after cleaning and should not be soaked for extended periods.

New parts should also be cleaned thoroughly before assembly.

Lubricate with grease.

The grease should be compatible with the ball valve's metal materials, rubber components, plastic components, and the working medium.

Apply a thin layer of grease to the seal mounting groove, a thin layer of grease to the rubber seal, and a thin layer of grease to the sealing and friction surfaces of the valve stem.

During assembly, metal debris, fibers, grease, dust, and other impurities and foreign matter must not be allowed to contaminate, adhere to, or remain on component surfaces or enter the internal cavity.

Proper operation of the machine is only possible if all aspects of the hard-seal ball valve are precisely maintained.
